Lost Ski Areas of the Southern Adirondacks - Reserve your copy!

Hi everybody,

I am pleased to announce that my new book, Lost Ski Areas of the Southern Adirondacks, is complete, and will be printed soon. You can see the cover attached.

Kudos to the team at The History Press for the design, proofreading, and the layout of the book!

The book has 75 photos, 160 pages long, 44,000 words, and details the 38 lost areas, 3 restored, and 13 still open areas (in summary) of the Southern Adirondacks. Many photos have never been published before and will be sure to surprise you. There were far more lost areas in this region than you would have thought!

My book will be out at the end of the summer...if you are interested in a copy, please email me at nelsap@yahoo.com and let me know your email address. I'll then send out an email immediately once the book is available if you are interested in purchasing it. Thanks!

Reserved!  Looking forward to it.

Wow..awesome! Count me in!

Cool! Nice work.

Hi everybody,

The book is now in print, and I have copies! If you are interested in a copy and haven't messaged me yet, let me know your mailing address, how many copies, and if you want them signed and to whom. I can then let you know a total.

Think snow,

If anyone has followed the exploits of Jeremy Davis' "New England Lost Ski Areas Project" (nelsap.org), you should be pleased to learn that he has just published "Lost Ski Areas of the Southern Adirondacks". I just received my copy fresh off the press within days so this is not a complete review. I've read a couple chapters and thumbed through to look at the photos. It's well written and entertaining without getting into the really nerdy level of history. 160pp including the blanks! It's a good read for anyone with a slight interest in the history of skiing in this region. Almost a must have for every Gore Mountain ski house! You may order it from www.nelsap.org. Maybe it will be available in some of the local shops at some point.

I wonder if the ski bowl is listed as lost or restored as it was only open for ~3 days last year. Seriously, I hope the book is carried by the local merchants such as the gore shop, gear exchange, etc.

Nice article on Jeremy's new book with some cool historical pics in the Lake George Mirror:

For anyone here who doesn't yet own a copy, put it on your Santa list.  Locally (Saratoga Springs) it is available at the Alpine Sport Shop.
